I suspect that Carrie Underwood actually has a lovely high voice, but she's always belting so much that you never get a chance to hear it.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
The Do-Re-Mi song requires perfect pitch. Julie Andrews had it. Carrie Underwood, on the other hand....

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I am now back to wanting new boss to diaf. We had our second biggest fundraiser today. She showed up in jeans, was utterly disengaged, spent the day picking her cuticles and texting and not promoting the raffle because she thought it should be the job of the two people already frantically working checking people out with their purchases. I strategically removed her from her post (that she kept abandoning) and put away the chair she'd been sitting on and stood for the next four hours (on my recovering sprained ankle) and raked in the raffle tickets while she sat on her ass in the other room and texted and picked her cuticles and continued to be disengaged, and unfortunately the ED was across the street signing in lunch-goers.
One of her prize comments today, IRG to the house tour being so close to Thanksgiving this year: "well, in England they don't have Thanksgiving...". I told her as politely as I could that it was just too fucking bad that we were Americans in the United States of Fucking America [and get your anglophiliac ass across the pond, and I apologize to the UK in advance)].

Yeah, vaguely thinking "interval training seems like a good idea, I wonder how I can make myself do that" hasn't gotten me very far.
Huh, it seems there are two apps from the same developer. Quandary!

The thunder sound effects were terrible. Either that, or the actors missed half their cues. Half the lines in that scene were drowned out by the thunder.

I actually thought Carrie Underwood was better in "The Lonely Goatherd" than she's been in the other songs so far. But that one is far less dependent on hitting all the notes exactly than Do-Re-Mi is.

They probably rehearsed the bejeesus out of it.

Oh, I'd forgotten about this song. Laura Bernandi is making Carrie Underwood look really bad in comparison.

"There was one lady, the most beautiful one. I think she was here all the time." "Yes, Louisa." That was a ridiculously stupid line that I'm very glad was not in the movie.

I'm going to have to find a way to watch the movie now. I love the dance scene in the movie. So much simmering tension.
